Regional Casualties

Assessing casualties across multiple countries affected is complex and subject to rapid change, but media outlets have reported significant numbers of deaths and injuries across the region, including among civilians and military personnel:

• Iran has reported high casualty levels resulting from both the initial U.S.–Israeli strikes and subsequent counterattacks.
• Israel experienced Iranian ballistic missile impacts with reported fatalities and injuries among civilians.
• Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Lebanon, Oman and other nations have reported varied casualty figures in strikes and interceptions during the escalation.
• Civilians, not only combatants, are among those affected as infrastructure and populated areas have been hit.

(Note: Precise totals for each country continue to fluctuate as official counts are updated and independent verification is sought.)
